Thank you from my heart for another wonderful Anthology. I have been late to order because I was affected by Hurricane Helene in two locations. This monster storm wreaked havoc over both states where I live between. No escaping her. That is why I haven’t been active here lately. Thanks for including my poems. It is always a thrill and an honor.

Hey PS just wondering why my poem…A Letter to be read was not selected to be in this new Anthology…and also I am still thrilled to be a poet on the site. Just kind of going through my thoughts on why. Please advise me at your earliest convenience. Thank you in advance.

Yesterday, I got my copy from Canada. Very sad to report, no proof reading was done on my poem. The grammatical mistake was mine and those remains and your assurance that proof reading was done on my poem is not true. Thought you should know the fact.

It is essential that when it comes to grammar, you do your own proofreading Before , because of what we mentioned already.

We cannot speak for your poem, but for some it was difficult to determine what was artistic license and what was a mistake. Many of the errors were obvious spelling errors. However, when it comes to grammar, things can get a little nebulous and poetry.

I just finished reading "Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry" in its entirety today. To call it a masterpiece is an understatement! It's the best anthology yet, no doubt. What an honor to have two of my poems featured: "When Life Gets Rough" and "Let Bygones Be Bygones." Please, pick up your copy on Amazon. com if you haven't already!

Wow, What an amazing anthology. So glad to be a part of this. So many poems by so many awesome poets. Very worth the efforts and money. I was a little surprised that the artists of the illustrations and cover were not represented, unless our illustrious editor was the artist. No matter, what an awesome book. 5 stars to the poetrysoup.com staff!!!

I am truly grateful to Team Poetry Soup for this great endeavor. My heart is filled with joy seeing my two poems included.

Fortunate enough to have my poem published in the best Anthology yet, as per the opinion of some poets and poetrysoup itself. Great! Thank you.

Thank you immensely TPS. You have contributed to making this year, the happiest year of my life. My poem "Emory's Diaries" is the fourth publication in a poetry soup volume. I have also had about ten of my poems published this year in other anthologies, eight published in a digital magazine and one published in a university online journal. The best of the very best of my life. Thanks TPS for contributing to my landmark achievements. And a warm congratulations to all the distinguished and talented poets who had their poems published in this exquisite volume, "Radiant Verses."

I like the first sentence--Congrats Soupers! You did it. And after I went to check out and clicked "read sample"--which includes a preview, preface, table of contents, additional artwork and the first 10 pages of members poems, I can see clearly the "radiance" spreading before my eyes. It's a great feeling. Good job Poetry Team.

Some have asked about editing since many poems had typos or spelling errors. YES! We edited all included poems where necessary unless artistic license was assumed. If we liked the poem and wanted to include it, we looked for the obviously typos and spelling mistakes. We took into consideration the different regional spellings like UK and USA spelling differences.

Now, I am shuddering to ask. I hope you "proofread" my poem before publishing. I am sometimes inattentive, and as a result, typos or grammar mistakes remain while publishing my poems. This poem had it too. "Its all for humanity, an quintessential lyric." I saw it and got really alarmed! Did it get published with the mistakes!? It should be—It's all for humanity, a quintessential lyric." (It's - instead of - its) and (a - instead of the - an). I corrected it just a while ago today, but please tell me that your editorial team or proofreading team corrected the mistakes before publishing. If not, then it is just my bad luck. But if you have corrected it, then please send me a snapshot. I will be grateful.

We edited all included poems where necessary unless artistic license was assumed. If we liked the poem and wanted to include it, we looked for the obviously typos and spelling mistakes. We took into consideration the different regional spellings like UK and USA spelling differences.

Dear PS, Congratulations on finishing the newest anthology! I was elated and deeply grateful to see that my three poetry submissions made it into this edition. The cover is not only visually appealing; it draws you in and beckons to be read. Thank you for all your hard work and for allowing me to be a small part of this project alongside other talented PS poets. Autumn Blessings, My Dear PS. Daniel

Thank you, PoetrySoup, from the heart. Today is a great and happy day for me. Just got informed this morning when I opened up my email! I could not believe it. My poem got accepted, and it is already published in the anthology and up for sale on Amazon.  It is a deep satisfaction to be recognised as a poet. A real proof of accomplishment as a poet, the joyful feeling of which cannot be expressed in words.  Thank you for the acceptance and thank you for the opportunity, dear PoetrySoup.

In the dark days that I'm going through in the war-torn country of Lebanon, this was a ray of light. I can't tell you how happy I got to recieve the message that all my poems made it. Thank you ever so much. BTW... an amazing cover! So beautiful. Thank you for bringing me much needed joy.
